The ion thruster system was developed for NovaCorp's No-L5-1a - Prosperity-Class Starship, and it became available in YE 36.
The system is designed to handle attitude control and station-keeping maneuvers while in a zero-gravity environment. Each thruster module has two adjustable thrusters as well as their own fuel supply. They are noted for their pale blue glow when firing.
Properly engaged, the thrusters are capable of achieving a maximum acceleration of 10 m/s².
